I sold my Magic cards today…

I sold my Magic cards today. I thought I’d feel a bit sad about it, but I’m not. This is nothing like when I sold all my My Little Ponies. I thought about selling my cards all on ebay, figured I might get about around $40 on ebay, *including* shipping, and I didn’t want to deal with it, shipping 1600+ cards is a pain. So I figured I’d head down to Collegeville Cards and see how much they’d give me for my cards. We got there around 2:30, and the owner was there to check out my cards. Hovering next to me was a guy who was a bit too eager to get his hands on my cards, and excitedly told the owner that he would buy a lot of my cards from him right away since they were sets he was looking to complete. I’m sure that helped me. I only had about 7 cards which were good rares, then about 100 crap rares, 50 foils, a few hundred basic lands, 1600 commons and uncommons. How much did I get for all this? $85. At least twice what I expected. Yay! Of course I payed much more than that for them all ;) but I don’t think I could have made off any better with any other reasonable selling route.

We did some shopping after stopping at the card shop. It was weird using actual cash for our purchases at Home Depot and the grocery store, we’re so used to using the debit card for everything.

Last night we went over to ‘s place. We brought along a few seasons of Red Dwarf (which he’d never seen), and hung out, had some beers, ate lots of pizza. I also got a chance to sign his key finally. We had a nice time, and stayed til almost midnight.

I’m going to go do some reading now.
